I have a theory about the self destruct mechanism that works in offsprings of abusive families..on the one hand they are real control freaks since they grew up incredibly tense and explosive homelife..they are forever trying to control the uncontrollable to bring a little security in their lives..ie WJC..what better way to control than to become president of one of the most powerful countries in the world.. then they attract even stronger control freaks..who have the herculean task of controlling the loose cannon.. (usually the non emotional type or cold type who might be putting themselves in a situation so they can at least feel some emotion. ..but the otherside of the coin, their need for control is overridden by their desire to just let go..there comes the self destruct mechanism..they are forever setting up situations for complete failure so they just be let go or to be found out "that they are just little kids at heart in an overwhelming situation which they have usually created to replicate the past.. What a tragedy.. I was really outraged last night when some journalist said that at all costs we have to look out for the welfare of the United States.. gee..I finally think we are looking out for the welfare of the United States and are finally getting back on track to true values..rather than material perks.. Anyways Patterson just bought an oil rig company..with all the gloom and doom about oil..do you think they know something we don't.. Have a feeling the DOW didn't tank big time because investors are expecting Europe to help pull the engine and a lot of high tech stocks have been coming out with good earnings and good projections and Microsoft will release 98, the last time I heard, within the year which also should lead tech stocks back..I guess if dollar keeps falling, foreigners will get out to save capital gains in currency or else get in more thinking after crisis dollar might resume..what is your guess? Also I find it curious that people say that since gold is denominated in gold, now that the dollar dropped, gold is cheaper..Am I missing something? Did the dollar drop that much to have a rise of $9? Aren't they buying more expensive gold for the most part? Also if they see continued weakness in dollar because of government being focussed elsewhere wouldn't they have waited for gold to drop more in price? At least I can look forward to reading your comments which always seem to be right on the mark(no pun,maybe a little) have a great weekend.. drowning in javascript
